Wynonna Judd Sues Former Stepfather

{Louisville, Kentucky}...Country singer Wynonna Judd filed a lawsuit this week in Jefferson County Circuit Court in Louisville against Michael Ciminella, her former stepfather and father of actress Ashley Judd. The lawsuit alleges Ciminella defaulted on a mortgage, dating to 1994, on property in the Old Louisville neighborhood where Ciminella lives. Records filed with the lawsuit show Judd's representatives wrote to Ciminella in September demanding principal and interest of $242,051. Ciminella's lawyer, Jeffrey Thompson, says the money was a gift, not a loan, and Judd had never asked that it be repaid until now.
